Underperforming pc; 780ti, 4770k

ZL3RAD · Jun 15, 2014

Been saving a while to build myself the dream build; I built it at the beginning of the year but ran out of funds so I used a gtx 760 to tie me over until I bought the 780ti which arrived a few days ago.

Upon installing the 780ti I have received no increase in performance, My resolution is 1680x1050
Benchmark results: http://imgur.com/a/9XPc4

I suspected maybe a driver issue and have since formatted and clean installed windows and drivers but the problem still persists

My pc specs are:
Cpu: 4770k
Gpu: msi 780ti gaming
Mobo: Gigabyte z87 ud7 th
Ram: corsair dominator platinum 32gb 2400mhz
Cooler: Corsair h100i
Psu: Antec hcp-1300
Case: Antec Lanboy air
ssd: Samsung 840 pro 512gb

(pretty happy with the wiring considering the motherboard covered the wiring holes on the frame)

I really appreciate and advice given as I have spent about 3k NZD and for it to work like this is disheartening

What make and model monitor?

Tried different settings?

It's a good build - even for 3k nzd.

ZL3RAD · Jun 15, 2014

The monitors a Samsung syncmaster 2053bw, tried different setting in what?

lunyone · Jun 15, 2014

Wow that seems a bit odd. I don't know too many people with those high-end specs and are running at 1680 x 1050 resolution. I know at some point your resolution limits your FPS, especially if your monitor is only 60 Hz (which is 60 FPS). What is your monitors refresh rate? I'm betting it's 60 Hz and you won't get any faster than that. If you monitor supported a higher refresh rate, you would see higher FPS.

Just found your monitor on Newegg for information purposes. You should be able to select a 75 Hz refresh setting, which should give you a higher maximum FPS. I would seriously consider upgrading your Monitor, TBH, if you want to have a more involved gaming experience.

yeah the monitors about 5 years old 60hz, its the last thing left for me to upgrade. the problem is that img getting 21fps in the unigene valley and in shadow warrior the game, 40fps in saints row 3 and bio shock infinite, 30fps in assains creed 3 but yet I get 40-130fps in payday 2

You haven't done anything nutty like trying to shut down cpu cores? Or overclocking anything?

No overheating probs - cpu or gpu?

mamasan2000 · Jun 16, 2014

Those scores in Unigine are way low, should be probably minimum 2000.
Somethings really wrong with your system.

Checked all power cables? Watercooling? Temps?

lunyone · Jun 16, 2014

Yeah I would check that you have the correct PSU connections on the GPU. It's possible that the GPU is faulty, but those scores are really bad. I'd also check your temperatures and also I would pull out a couple of your RAM sticks, in order to make sure your RAM/Mobo isn't causing some issues. You could run Memtest86 on your RAM first too, just to make sure.

gpu runs at 31 degrees c idle and at 63 during FurMark stress test
cpu idles at 24 degrees c and gets to 26 c in heay load stress test??

ZL3RAD :

GPU temperatures seem pretty close. I think most 780 Ti's are temp restricted to about 70 C, IIRC (unless you remove said restrictions).

The CPU temperatures don't seem right. I think most Intel 4770k's are usually around 70-80 C, when under air cooling, so 26 C doesn't seem right (might just be your program that your using).

i7Baby · Jun 16, 2014

I agree - for 100% load, the core should be at least 50C and the cpu cooler fans should be running like crazy.

ZL3RAD · Jun 16, 2014

here's results for performance test 7 http://i.imgur.com/uGNpKhe.png
downloading another cpu temp monitor program will update

lunyone · Jun 16, 2014

I'm just wondering, by the pictures of the build, if he has installed the CPU/HSF correctly? There isn't one shown in the included picture of the build, but could it possibly be running without a CPU/HSF??

i7Baby · Jun 16, 2014

There's a cpu cooler/fan in the second photo

lunyone · Jun 16, 2014

i7Baby :

I don't see one in any of the links, unless I missed one?

ZL3RAD · Jun 16, 2014

cpu didn't pass 31 degrees c or pass 22% utilization, http://i.imgur.com/e5KpH1b.png
I believe the cpu is the issue, as when I was running the 760 it was performing slightly below benchmarks and since ive upgraded to no change
any ideas?

ZL3RAD · Jun 16, 2014

no pics of the cooler as the h100i is mounted to my case door, the cpu test came back at 17.8445 gflops which to me is rather low

Have you updated all of your Mobo drivers, especially the BIOS? I also forgot that you had the H100i listed/pictured in your first link.

ZL3RAD · Jun 16, 2014

used all the drivers from the gigabyte website, updating the bois now

i7Baby · Jun 16, 2014

I'm looking at http://imgur.com/a/Ij4er

Is the h100i installed? Where's the cpu block and hoses?

lunyone · Jun 16, 2014

i7Baby :

I'm suspecting he/she took the pictures before installing the H100i, but that is why I asked earlier if there was a cooler installed.

i7Baby · Jun 16, 2014

Let's hope so.

But I thought he'd get bsod like that anyway and he's not.

ZL3RAD · Jun 16, 2014

its mounted on the side panel of the case hence no photo of it installed

i7Baby · Jun 16, 2014

OK - so your build list is 100% accurate. h100i installed per instructions? Corsair link working 100%?

Just trying to figure why your only getting 26C for 100% load. I don't think LN2 would do that.

Got any other ways of getting cpu temp eg bios/uefi?

lunyone · Jun 16, 2014

i7Baby :

Yeah I'm sure he would have had BSOD if there was no cooling on the CPU

Any luck with the BIOS update?
